In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants,’ they cause extensive damage to homes and buildings yearly. Termite control is essential to prevent costly repairs and protect your property.

If your home has termites and you’re seeking the most effective treatment available, WANT Pest Control can guide you through the best options for termite management, providing reliable and informed solutions.

A 2012 industry study commissioned by AEPMA estimated the average cost of treating and repairing damage to be approximately $10,000 per house. A 2003 survey by Archicentre (the Building Advisory Service branch of the Royal Institute of Architects) estimated that 650,000 Australian homes had become infested with termites over the last five years. The cost of treating and repairing the damage caused by termite infestations has been estimated at $3.9 billion.

Termite Management Solutions
There are two primary approaches to termite management: creating a chemically treated zone between termites and your building (barrier treatments) or targeting the termite colony directly. Each method has unique benefits, and we help you understand which option best suits your situation.

Chemical Treatments
Chemical treatments are a traditional approach to treating termites before they enter your property. They can be applied locally to specific areas or as a complete perimeter treatment for comprehensive protection. While localized treatments address small areas, perimeter treatments offer broader protection, making them the preferred method for lasting results.

• Do not store timber against the house
• Do not place any timbers in contact with the ground
• Direct all overflow pipes into the drainage

• Have a visual termite inspection completed every 6 months

WANT Pest Control is here to guide you through each option and recommend the most effective treatment for lasting peace of mind.
